Baby bummers

Further proof of the aging of the Baby Boom generation: There’s a new TV commercial for Miracle Ear hearing aids that includes a pitch from a bald guy wearing glasses and sporting a thin, gray beard who says, in a quasi Tommy Chong voice, “Thirty years of rock concerts, man — it was time.”

Even worse, the spot runs every day during “The Price Is Right,” which I thought by law was required to only carry ads featuring Wilford Brimley. I mean, its commercials trend really old — scooters, prescription-drug benefits, adult diapers, compilations of favorite hymns, etc.

Speaking of “Price Is Right” commercials, it’s a tad creepy to see “Jeopardy” host Alex Trebek acting as pitchman for Colonial Penn Life Insurance’s funeral policy. The ad in question starts with Grandma putting coins in a parking meter and then gives you a guilt trip about not burdening your family with your “final expenses.” Like you’d care at that point.
